22.3.3 BANK
FIGURE 251
Another set of delegate buttons sits in the second row (counting from the top) of the primary Command
group . This group is labeled BANK . As you know by now, the Switcher crosspoints of TriCaster systems are
organized in banks comprising between 16 and 24 columns (varies by model).
Similarly, Switcher sources are presented in banks on VMC1 model control surfaces. (The constituent sources
of Switcher banks on the surface may deviate from the interface because the button count is different.) Press
the desired
BANK button – 1, 2 or 3 – to determine which group of sources is currently delegated to the
Switcher rows in all stripes. The displays above the selection rows will update accordingly.
Note: For reasons that should be obvious, Bank buttons do not support multi-selection.
S PLIT B ANKS
Ordinarily, the Switcher and M/E row bank assignments for all stripes on the surface match. So, for example,
if the Main Switcher is showing Bank 1 , all other stripes likewise display Bank 1 . It possible, however, to lock
individual stripes to specified Banks .
To do so, hold down the ALT and CTRL buttons on the surface together, which will cause the LCD displays to
list Banks 1, 2, and 3 (VMC1 only) in the first three Switcher columns. Press the KEY row button above the
display for the desired stripe to select the Bank it will present thereafter.
Stripes delegated to a particular Bank in this manner do not update when you press the Bank (1-3) buttons
in the Primary Command Group . To restore normal behavior, hold down ALT and CTRL again, and notice that
the KEY row button for the currently assigned bank lights. Press this button again to extinguish it, and the
stripe will once again follow the primary Bank button assignment.
22.3.4 PREVIZ
There are more delegate buttons, but before moving on to consider them, let’s complete o ur consideration
of the second row of the primary Command group . This brings us to the PREVIZ group.
TriCaster’s powerful Previz feature was described earlier in this Guide (Section 9.8 ). We’ve also seen, in
Section 22.3.2, that we can delegate a stripe to control the various features Previz provides.
Note: Not a TC Mini feature.
